For some, there is a path to student loan forgiveness By JOSEPH PISANI AP Business Writer

Wish you could make your student loans disappear? Student loan forgiveness programs can make it happen, but there's a problem.

"There needs to be more awareness about these programs," says Betsy Mayotte, director of regulatory compliance at American Student Assistance, a nonprofit that helps borrowers manage their student debt.

" this seems backwards. Now teachers and public safety can easily make 80k or more by age 45 and ALSO get a large unfunded pension. Now they can also get debt forgiven too? How about the IT or manufacturing college education guys from the Hartford, Pratt, Skilorsky who work in the "lucrative " private sector..make 80k and then get laid off with a awlf funded 401k..they have to pay their loans ?
